Que Syrah: Funky Red Blends
It was Sunday afternoon, and I was at Que Syrah, for their Funky Red Blends flight.
After the red flight, accompanied by a three cheese plate, I enjoyed a glass of Madeira.
Then, I went home for a quiet Sunday evening.
The Funky Red Blends flight

It was a very relaxing hour.
